III. Front Panel Menu Controls XM
Most menu functions are identical to the AM/FM tuner with some exceptions. The menu functions specific to XM reception are outlined here.
Signal Status: This function is important to XM signal reception. When the antenna is installed and plugged into the T2 antenna input, follow the following submenus. These are designed to insure that the antenna location is sufficient for good signal reception.
Antenna: This display will either indicate OK or None. OK means the tuner is detecting the presence of an antenna.
Signal Strength: There are four displays for this selection. They are none, weak, marg. , and good. You want to adjust the antenna location so the display indicates good reception.
Sat. 1: This indicates the percentage of error from the first satellite. As long as the signal strength is good, this should be between 90 and 100%.
Sat 2: This function is identical to Sat 1 and indicates the percentage of error for the second satellite. Terrestrial: Many areas have terrestrial signal repeaters to boost the satellite signal. This is useful where a satellite signal might be impeded. This menu function shows the % of error in the terrestrial signal. If the satellite signal is good, the terrestrial signal is not necessary.
Info: | Version: This tells you what firmware version is |
| currently loaded on the T2. |
| Test Status: This is for factory diagnostic use only. |
Advanced Settings: Diagnostics is the only XM function not included in the AM/FM choices. This is an XM customer service function. Typically you do not have to do anything with this selection. If you have a question about XM operation the XM customer service representative may ask for the information on the diagnostic display.
